Create a sequence to show exponential growth where the population of 120 is doubling every day.

Question

120, 60, 30
120, 240, 360, 480
120, 240, 480
120, 360, 1080

Answer 1

To represent exponential growth where a population of 120 is doubling every day, we start with the initial population and show how it doubles over subsequent days.

Here’s the correct sequence representing this exponential growth:

1. Day 0: 120
2. Day 1: 240 (120 * 2)
3. Day 2: 480 (240 * 2)
4. Day 3: 960 (480 * 2)

So the correct sequence is: 120, 240, 480, 960, ...

None of the sequences you provided accurately represent this growth, as they either have incorrect values or don’t follow the pattern of doubling the population.
